The New York Liberty took down the Dallas Wings in their first home game in over a month.
Not everyone could make it to Sandy Brondello's birthday party but the New York Liberty nonetheless pitched in to deliver their head coach quite the gift.
Three different New Yorkers earned double-doubles in the win: Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones each secured 12 rebounds while Courtney Vandersloot scored a season-high 15 points and dished out 11 assists. It was the second time in Liberty history that three different players had double-doubles in a single game and just the 24th time in WNBA history.
Facing a North Texas group energized by the return of Satou Sabally , the Liberty struggled to pull away in the early going: with Ionescu missing, Vandersloot had a direct role in 10 of the first 14 Liberty points, which helped build a 15-point lead in the early stages of the second period. From there, New York embarked on a relative roll, scoring eight of the first 10 points in the second half. One more Dallas run, a 14-3 tally at the end of the third and at the onset of the fourth, shrank things to four but the Liberty finally clipped the Wings with 14 tallies in a row, capped off by Vandersloot's 10th assist of the night, this one on Sabally's driving layup.
